Honouring the Voices of Marginalized Communities: A Participatory Research Experience (June 2011)
Community Development Halton recently embarked on a journey of relationship and trust building in the Halton community amongst those living in marginalized circumstances.
Through community soundings in community spaces and in places such as community suppers, food banks, BBQs and coffee shops, the research team asked two questions:
- What is going well for you?
- What are your biggest headaches?
The response to those two question provided a snap shot into the social determinants of health for those rarely consulted and not acknowledged in a prosperous community. Community leaders identified through the community sounding process were hired and trained to conduct a community survey to build on those initial findings. The survey further defined factors that impact health for those living in marginalized communities.

Through their partnership, UWBGH and CDH launched a study to look at Burlington’s newcomers by investigating who they are and where they live.

A Recovery Free Zone: The Halton Bulletin (November 2010) Full Report
The Halton Bulletin presents local results from A Recovery-Free Zone, a one-year province-wide follow-up survey conducted by the Social Planning Network of Ontario (SPNO) on the impact of the economic downturn on nonprofit community social service agencies in Ontario. Thirty four Halton agencies took part in the 2010 follow-up survey. Among the results, the report documents that demand for services is rising, agencies are unable to meet this demand, communities continue to feel the effects of the economic downturn and agency workers are caught in the squeeze.
